Shoulder to shoulder in the storm
With heavy rainfall predicted over the next few days, these figures will probably be even higher by the time you read this. In the UK, churches are often amongst the first to open their doors to disaster-hit communities. On Monday, Herefordshire Council tweeted that the vicar of St Martin’s Church…

Scottish Christian charities unite to respond to coronavirus
The leaders of 12 Christian charities are today alerting the Scottish Government to the unique role they and the local church are playing during the coronavirus outbreak. In a letter to the First Minister, charities describe how in the weeks and months ahead, many more people will feel the need to…

Turning 'scary evangelism' on its head
Looking back, I can see how my discouragement, fear and pride were all getting in the way, and the tragedy is that nobody called me to account for this. I felt a failure. Research shows that I’m not alone. A survey carried out by the Evangelical Alliance back in 2012 revealed that 48 per cent of…

Coronavirus: a Christ-centred response
Across the UK 85 cases had been confirmed as of Wednesday, 4 March. This is a relatively small number compared to the 80,000 so far confirmed in China and the further 10,000 in other countries around the world. It will probably never be known how accurate these figures are, with the BBC reporting…

Will you share yours?
Alongside his research and resourcing at the Evangelical Alliance, Phil has also been carefully putting into words the passion he has always felt for sharing Jesus and sharing stories. His first book, Story Bearer, encourages all Christians, whatever age and life stage, to treasure their story and…

What's stopping us?
We were having a great week and being blown away by all the Lord was doing. The theme of ‘Only the Brave’ exploring determined discipleship from the book of James was having a huge impact on the event and we were settling down to hear another message. The diminutive figure of Hae Woo unassumingly…

Heroes and hoarders
The country may not literally be on fire, but it's the imagery of the person running into the flames rather than away from the risk that we are buoyed by, that we admire, that is lauded so strongly on social media and the news. One of the challenges of this specific crisis is how inactive and…

Top tips for doing church digitally
My past week has been a hive of activity resourcing the local church and working with other church communications teams, creating resources, learning from each other, and sharing best practice. Our desire has been to discover what God is making available to us all in this time, and through this I…

Government powers for coronavirus must be proportionate
We at the Evangelical Alliance recognise the incredible times that we are living in and the need for emergency legislation both to equip public services in their response and to keep the population safe. The legislation being considered by Parliament this week is broad in scope and contains…

Coronavirus: Being together, apart
In the church calendar, it may be that we take part in the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity or occasionally swap pulpits. In my experience, it is often left unexplored. We know that it is one of the things that Jesus prayed for on the night before He died. Our Lord prayed that we might be…

Remembered in the time of old age
I would never argue with the way God continues to use this ministry in remarkable ways, but I couldn’t escape my inner reaction: What about the older people?! Three words dropped into my thinking: silver cord ministries. Ecclesiastes 12 starts “remember your creator in the days of your youth”,…

A godly initiative in Stornaway
The gospel is the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. As with any good news, it is worth sharing, even more so when people struggle with their own sense of bad news about themselves. When people are left to make up their own mind about God, especially in a more religious setting, they tend to view…

We need public leaders now more than ever before
Despite having watched the spread through China and into Europe and beyond, I and I think many others, were not fully prepared for how fast it was going to change our lives. Events and responses are shifting so quickly that advice and resources constantly need updating and were I to give you ‘five…
